They get to know how your child learns best, adapting their teaching style to build a genuine understanding of the subject. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child's needs.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Ashford and are preparing for the Kent Test. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and Kent Test preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, creative writing, and reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child is aiming for a grammar school like Highworth or Norton Knatchbull. Can I find an experienced tutor?
Yes. You can filter tutors by their experience and specialisms. Many have a proven track record of helping students secure places at top grammar schools. You can read their profiles and parent reviews to find the perfect match for your child's goals.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos, reading their bios, and checking reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and approach to ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your budget.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and rediscover a love for the subject.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all pass an enhanced DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long session per week works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. You can discuss this directly with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve are often the clearest signs that tutoring is working.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language or even public speaking.
What equipment does my child need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
